Blackwater 53393

Scrap the nickeled brass and keep the rest!

Comfortably numb!!

I really appreciate this! I like the Remington cartridge revolvers far more than any other of the guns of the period!

I won my 750 a few years ago and it sat in my gun room in its box for quite a while! When I finally set it up, I looked at a new case feeder. I’m a bit of a tightwad and didn’t want to spend the money for a new one plus all the related parts to make it work. I added the roller handle and the strong mount and I started loading by filling the feed tube and running the press, but it was tedious to get up every dozen or so cartridges and refill the tube. I found a used case feeder on evilbay with all of the feed plates. It was a single speed unit, but it was clean and cost me half the price of the same setup new! I wouldn’t be caught without it now! I don’t know if I would add the bullet feeder. I use six different bullets, some coated, some lubed, and some jacketed. I don’t get in a hurry. One of my loads involves an over powder card and lubed fiber wad. It might streamline some of my cartridge production, but, for now, I’m sticking with loading my projectiles by hand. I will throw in a plug for Inline Fabrication!! Others have mentioned them here. I’ve purchased their tall mount for my Rock Chucker II and their extended roller handle for it too! Makes sizing those brass shotgun shells MUCH easier!! They also make a nice stand that allows you to use different presses and tools that’s rugged and versatile. Finally, they worked with me to make an ergonomic roller handle for my archaic Dietermeyer shotshell press! If you can afford it without straining your budget and it makes your operation easier and more efficient, by all means, indulge yourself!!

Bought it from Amazon. Ordered it on Sunday and it was delivered on Monday!! I was sitting in it by lunchtime today and I never left the house!!

I got my replacement chair for the gun room yesterday evening, some assembly required ! Got up this morning and drug the box into the gun room and set about putting it together! It’s a nice heavy duty chair with several adjustable features, but there was literally NOTHING pre assembled. It took me the better part of an hour to get it all done and would have taken longer if I hadn’t had my own tools. it sure is an improvement over my old chair! I spent most of the weekend on my backside! My hip and leg were giving me fits. I’m still a week away from getting a cortisone shot to put the inflammation to rest again. I’d say it was chronic if it flared up more often, but it’s usually more than a year between episodes. Unfortunately, when it gets going, it’s pretty debilitating! I can get around and do most anything, but it sure does make me miserable. The last of the ice around the back stairs finally melted away last night! We’d been able to get to the back deck, but the stairs dropped off into the driveway and the sun never hits that area. It was slick and troublesome to get to the vehicles unless we went out the front door. Now I’m a little tired and I think it’s time for a nap!! I won’t grump if nobody wakes me up before supper…

Those violations don’t rise to the level required for prohibition…

Rinse and Repeat!

We apparently can’t make these malefactors look bad enough for the populace to rise up and run them out!!

Same old thing! If it’s good news, the anti-gun side created it!! If it’s bad news, it’s gun owners who are responsible!

A new day and another tactic to circumvent the Constitution!! Constant vigilance, folks! Don’t even blink!

It is practically a foregone conclusion that these bills will be passed and signed by the governor. If and when these infringements are found to be unconstitutional, the legislators who passed them and the governor who signed them should be made to pay all of the expenses of those who bring these matters before the courts!! Then a sizable fine for punitive damages should also be levied and those who fail to pay should be removed from their positions!!

SCOTUS should rule that ANY law passed that is found to infringe on the Second Amendment rights of citizens will result in the levying of massive fines at the time that it is found to be unconstitutional! The Constitution and Second Amendment should be amended to read that the congress of the United States or of any state, commonwealth, county, parish, or municipality, within its boundaries shall pass no law that restricts ownership, possession, or transport by any means of the arms of or by law abiding citizens!

That piece of crud is notorious for talking out of both sides of his mouth!!

Then get up and go back to work!

My fist set of Ruger Blackhawks had the cylindes honed so that the 0.45 Colt brass would fall out after the cartridges were fired. It worked every time with smokeless rounds, so long as the gun was cleaned before the day’s shooting began. The only exception was if the case split when the round was fired. Sometimes I would have to use the extractor if that happened. It wasn’t as reliable when I shot Black Powder.

My regular everyday carry holds 13 rounds in the magazine and there’s one in the pipe, cocked and locked. If I carry a backup magazine, it holds twenty rounds. If I’m going really low profile, my carry hold five rounds of .45 Colt and I have three speed loaders in the pocket of my jacket. I think it was Jeff Cooper who advised carrying “enough bad guy repellent to go around“!!

Turn the oven opening to where it will get the most sun and pland some kind of flower in the oven. Find a pot that fits in the chimney and plant something else in that!! If nothing else, plant cactus! That would seem appropriate! How about prickly pear in the oven and a barrel cactus in the chimney??

Around the Clock, sometimes…

Understandable!

We prefer the older accumulated points rules employed before anu of this “playoff” idiocy was introduced! This included extra points for winning a race, one point for qualifying on the pole, one point for leading a lap, and one point for leading the most laps!! Points to be totaled at the end of the season and the driver with the most points is declared to champion!! Forget about “stages” and the related malarkey that comes with such falderal!

Generally, NO.

It was regular employment!* *My job was to see that the car was ready for the next event! If I had spare time during the week, I did general automotive repair and got paid on commission! If I spent the entire week preparing the car, (cars most of the time) I earned my regular salary and I was also paid to manage the team on the weekends!*

Cheerios in vodka!! 😳

Alpo! The simple answer is “YES!” It can and has been done many times!
